10608 100 Ave, Fort St John, BC V1J 1Z3, Canada
Lovely little place. I tried the Miso Ramen and FSJ roll. Large portions and delicious.
There is an impressive selection of food. The appetizer was great, and the portions are generous. Unfortunately, the Pad Thai did not meet my expectations; it resembled a yakisoba dish instead.
Some of the food here is amazing, but they fall short by having such a big menu- making it hard to deliver the same quality to every dish. The food here is awesome. One of the top places in Fort St John. The flavour and quality of ingredients used is to a high standard. Examples being, K-Gyoza, Calamari, Pad Thai, Short Rib, Chicken Appys. But, a good portion of the menu is littered with average and frankly, below average dishes. This leads to disappointment when you taste these 10/10 dishes, then you order something different the next time and it's not even a 7/10, it's a 4/10. The menu covers such a wide variety of foods that it's impossible to apply the same attention to detail for every cuisine and variety. Overall an amazing place with shockingly good Appys and mains, but be careful, as the huge menu results in certain dishes being unable to receive the love they deserve.
In one word.... AMAZING! I've eaten sushi at a ton of different establishments, including many along the coastline with fresh fish - and can't remember rolls EVER tasting as good as the FSJ rolls!! The beef plate I had was equally amazing with a TON of aged beef, amazing sauce, fresh cooked but still crispy veggies, and fresh rice served separately in a small bowl to keep it hot (brilliant). Cozy little dine-in with super friendly and attentive staff. I ordered my meal, ate it, paid and was out the door in under an hour at a very busy time. Cash vs food value is five stars! My only complaint is I found this gem on my last day here 😕
Pleasantly surprised at this Korean restaurant in town. The tofu soup was authentic. The pad Thai tasted more like a yakisoba but it was good anyways
Food is really good. Enjoyed their rolls which are way bigger than most restaurants. Also tried their bulgogi which has good sauce. Will definitely come back to try some more dishes.
Very surprised! I travel across Canada to Fairbanks! Came to this city and found such a delicious restaurant! Lots of variety of food! And they all look delicious! We ordered a lot of dishes and they were all my favorites! Highly recommend this Japanese restaurant
During my travels through the north, I stopped at this small restaurant. They had very friendly and helpful service, and I ordered the Gyoza and a Spicy Korean BBQ dish. Everything tasted very authentic and the bill was manageable too!
My wife and I live this little gem. The spicy chicken pad Thai is amazing!!
Good solid place!
This is a great place for your meal, whether you enjoy Korean food or not. The menu is great, and the service is fantastic.
Comfy little restaurant with fantastic sushi. The salmon in particular is my favorite!
Bowl smelled like dish washer detergent even strong that the food
Very friendly staff! Nice place to go for a casual meal, very small town feel.
They re so nice there, great food portions and always delicious, their service really has my highest praise!
Truly amazing, excellent food. 10/10 recommend Eta. Still Excellent 2 years later! Food
First time at Hungry Bear. I ordered take out. Two different Tempura rolls. The first roll was Dynamite Roll. Classic and delicious. I love that they are big rolls. The lettuce threw me for a loop. That was a first and was delicious. The second roll was Crunchy Roll. It was a Tempura stuffed deep fried roll. First time for me. It was crunchy and saucey. Delicious flavor. A bit to much sauce for my liking. I am definetly going to go again. Their menu is big. Lots of choices to try.
Spicy salmon sashimi was excellet!
I love Hungry Bear! I try to eat here as much as I can. The pad thai, sweet and spicy chicken, soya chicken, bibimbap, and katsu curry are all faves of mine. Seriously some of the best comfort food in town. They also sell Korean Bibigo gyoza which are my absolute fave
Great bibimbap and super fast and friendly service!
Come here for the tastiest Korean food in the Peace River region. Friendly family atmosphere. Good for eat in or take out. Always eat here when Im in town.
Food is amazing. Service with a smile. Fair prices and big menu selections. I am not a local in FSJ so when I am here for work I always make time for Hungry Bear. Vegetarian options: Lots of options Parking: Parking lot big. Kid-friendliness: Sure
Best Bulgogi in town, very fun, authentic atmosphere! Nice people!
Best sushi in the whole northern BC. Short staffed so the service wasnt perfect but the food definitely made up for it. 100percent recommend going there.
The food here tonight was outstanding. Such a little hidden gem in town
great food! excellent service!
Great Quality food, excellent food presentation and A+ customer service! I highly recommend this restaurant to all to try, and you will not regret it!!! Food
An unassuming place, but always amazing!! Im not sure how they do it, but the foods always perfect and the staff are always smiling.
Wow the food here is absolutely DELICIOUS! huge menu! I ordered the beef galbi ribs which was mouth watering yummy perfection, it had vegetables underneath. the crispy chicken wings that was perfectly crispy yet juicy and two types of sushi that was also freaking wonderful. GREATTTT FOOD!
Had the house special Pad Thai, large portion and delicious! Will definitely return
LOVE the authentic Korean dishes here! The spicy pork bulgogi is my absolute favourite! Go on! Give it a try ! I know youll love it!
Well!! A good friend of mine took me here and boy was i impressed! For a little hole in the wall the food was really good, the family that ran the place were very friendly and polite. I will definitely be revisiting on my next hitch.
Delicious food, one of the only places I eat at in Fort St John. the Bulgogi is a must have whenever I am in town.
First time at this place and the food and service was really good. The only thing I personally wasnt comfy in was the washroom but overall this is a great place to eat. Thank you
You have got to try this place, unbelievable. Great food great service 10/10
My hubby and I love eating here or ordering out. The food is always hot and stays hot the whole time youre dining in. I am always filled and tend to have leftovers for the next day. Our last visit the restaurant was quite busy, and with only 1 waitress, it was hard to get my drinks refilled, and tables werent being cleaned off for other people to come in and sit down. A few people sat down and then left 10 mins later cause they hadnt even been acknowledged or given menus. I know she was ran off her feet and super busy, but maybe another staff member could have came out of the back to at least do a quick table clean up or handed some menus out. Other than that experience, we are always happy to order at Hungry Bear.
Delicious food and friendly service. I have tried their Japanese dishes and Korean dishes and have always enjoyed what Ive ordered. They also serve western dishes, but I have not tried them. They have my favourite toasted brown rice green tea. Service is always quick, and prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend.
Hidden gem Food was flavourful, and the service was wonderful. Will be returning in the near future!
I had the Spicy Pork DolSot Bibimbap. It was incredibly delicious, the service was lovely and I cant wait to go back. A colleague had the sweet and spicy Korean chicken (which was a large and yummy bowl of chicken but came with no veggies or rice). It would have been better family style with other dishes or as a shared appie.
Tasty
Great restaurant.
Food is so good! Vegetarian options: Love the tofu dish I had! Food : 5/5 |
First time trying out this restaurant. We were just driving through town. Initially I was skeptical trying out an Asian restaurant in FSJ. But I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. The food was well balanced and fresh. The chef cared about the flavor and the appearance of the dishes. We tried the FSJ sushi, fried rice, Korean BBQ Short Rib and the bulgogi. I would definitely come back again.
Legit bibimbup. (Coming from a Korean) I had the spicy pork. A bit pricey but I was quite happy to find it!
They stayed open an extra 5 minutes for us after our shift so we could get dinner. Awesome place!
Stopped here because of the good reviews but encountered the opposite experience. I waited 15 minutes to place my order and then after another 10 minutes what I had ordered was unavailable. Not a good experience hopefully it was just a off day by staff?
Returned recently because of good past experience. The wait for service was long. We ordered the beef bulgogi. It wasn t sizzling or steaming when served, in fact, we were able to touch the skillets as they weren t that hot at all. The beef looked very dry, my friend asked if it had been cooked the previous day. The server tried explaining that this was just a different way to cook and serve the dish and it hadn t been cooked on the skillet. A most disappointing experience.
Horrible Ramen, flies come with the atmospher..... not Hungry anymore
Amazing food! The sundubu-jjigae was incredible and the gimbap was also delicious! Please come to Grande Prairie and open a Korean restaurant there, we need you!!
Miso beef tempora is all I have to say .
Great food. Wood bench booth seating is hard next time Ill use the table and chairs. Their spicy chicken was tender and delicious.
Very good will be back
It was nice. Thanks for the good food
Good quality food, nothing crazy. Lots of options.
Very good service. Very good food
Vegetarian options: Need more Vegetarian options Food
This is my go to spot in FSJ for delicious and comforting food. I love the tofu stew, the red hot chicken, short rib, and any of the bulgogi, bibimbap, and gimbap options. Excellent place for quality Korean food and staff that make sure your experience is a good one. Hungry Bear is a true gem. Vegetarian options: Lots of tofu and vegetable options on the menu. The tofu stew is the best!
Miso & Seafood ramen bowls were super tasty! Great service
Delicious food from a huge menu!
The sushi (mango California roll) was very tasty, no complaints! However the beef bibimbap fell flat. Too many cooked onions and mushrooms, the beef was flavourless and rice was too wet. Kind of a mixed bag!
Just had their fish and chips......omg.....delicious ...
Consistent amazing service, wonderful staff, and great portion sizes. The owners are friendly and clearly love what they do. The menu truly has something for every pallette!
Always good
Great food, and a large selection.
Both the service and the food was awesome!!
Food was great and well priced
Very delicious food
My go to place to eat when I am passing through FSJ! The food and staff are wonderful. It is awesome to have a ramen place here in the North that is this good
Amazing food! The mango California rolls were delicious. If youre in FSJ this is the place to go.
Excellent service and great food!
Got the Ramen combo which came with tempura and bimbap rolls.
The restaurant itself was fairly spacious and an ok atmosphere, The sitting area was very small, The Teriyaki chicken was half warm half cold it was a very confusing temperature and swimming in oil, the half a bowl of miso soup had a greasy after taste, the rice was not to bad same with the coffee
I have mixed feelings here, not because the food quality is poor or something along those lines. Heck, Ive eaten in, taken out and had it delivered and never once have I thought well, that was a bad idea. It boils down to this; they have an expansive menu that has Korean, Thai, Chinese, Western and Japanese and because they do it all, its not the best versions of those dishes. That said, order what ever tickles your fancy and you will undoubtedly enjoy it. They have it figured out and while its not perfect, it is worth it. TL;DR - You cant go wrong with Hungry Bear, they have so much on offer and they do it well.
Delicious food, very friendly staff!
Food is good but Im disappointed with the customer service . The lady who served us today complained of the number of trips she did for getting what we need. Is that what a server does? Why complain? You should just not work there if you dont want to serve your customers. Bad for the business
Amazing food! Chicken teriyaki was the best Ive had in 20 years and I travel a lot! Very friendly, fantastic stop on our road trip!
Hidden gem! This place hits the spot everytime.
Bibimbap served in a hot bowl sounds awesome, right? However, rice actually hardened big time, almost as if eating raw rice. Without the sauce that came with the dish, it would have been super bland, sadly. Was really looking forward to it. Service was friendly but very slow - place wasnt packed, but they were busy with skip the dishes orders. Fried rice was good but curry was just okay.
Stopped here while passing through FT StJohn, small restaurant and great Korean food. I would eat here again.
Unique bear decor adds such a charm to this whole in the wall eatery. Lovely staff and delicious food.
Parking: Good to see open again . Right on hwy 97. Great pancakes.
Best udon and ramen in Fort st john! Highly recommended!
First time last night preordered. It was fresh, hot and very good. Will definitely go back and try more dishes. Service was excellent! Parking: Right there lots of parking
Great food Kid-friendliness: Good options for kids Food : 5/5 |
Hungry Bear is absolutely delicious! Everything on the menu is phenomenal, and the owners and staff are absolutely delightful! Great job Hungry Bear
Iv have sadly not been in fsj for a few years ..i moved to Victoria and now pg but .. iv never found chicken yakysoba any where that compares to hungry bear ... i frickin miss this place so much .YUMMMM
Delicious as always
All the staff are friendly and the food is delicious
Food is amazing and staff is very friendly!
Yummy food and very hospitable staff. No regrets at all on the food we ordered. I just hope they come to GP and get the other Korean restaurants trained on how to make properly Authentic Korean Dishes. Every penny is worth it!
Best restaurant in town. Love the Pad Thai and the Spicy Pork Bulgogi.
Very good spot all food is good
Great food
This business promotes segregation.
Delicious food, great service... friendly. It is the most wonderful smelling restaurant Ive been in...it makes me hungry!
Amazing food and a huge portion!
Delicious food, always still hot for take out, reasonable pricing and very quick for the quality of food
The food is excellent & reasonably priced, my favorite dish would be the H. B. Chicken Roll
The food is fresh and unbelievably tasty. Great service and a very good bang for your buck.
Best ramen soup and yakisoba I ve had in a long time. Fantastic service too! Definitely recommend.
i love this place. i actually went there because my co workers were laughing at the exterior. i said it might be a diamond in the rough, so i looked it up on google and the reviews were outstanding. really good food, wide variety on the menu. best ramen on town and some really cute Korean girls working there.
Love it. Enough said.
Really good ramen!
Very tasty
Delicious food and the friendliest staff
Go there all the time with my friends, food is always superb! Love the wonton and ramen especially! Staff are always lovely! My favourite restaurant in FSJ!!
good service and good food
One of the better places in Fsj to eat. Quite a large variety of foods to order. Decent prices, can get a tad pricey but the quality of food is high. If youre worried about not liking anything on the menu, there are a hand full of western foods and even a few dishes styled for Fsj. I recommend heading there with a friend to try out a few different things. Then bring your family so that you can recommend a dish or two for them.
The fish and chips was amazing! Service was great! However the location is not a well known place to out of town visitors. I am from out of town and our instructor took us there for lunch.
Best in town
The service was friendly and really fast. The sushi was fresh tasting, and they have a pretty diverse menu. Would definitely recommend it.
Never been dissapointed. The food is always good and the service is always great
Friendly polite staff great food . Korean or western.
Excellent sushi!!
Not bad
Doesnt look like much from the outside but good food and friendly staff. Definitely in the FSJ rotation now.
Have you ever been hungry before? Chances are, you have. If this is the case youll know all about needing some good food. Hungry Bear is the bomb diggity. Their Korean short ribs are absolutely delightful, and the sushi is pretty damn good as well. Eat here, I demand it.
Very good service. The food was great.
Im satisfied with this because its fusion Korean food in the Canadian countryside.
Excellent Korean. No compromises to appease the western palate. Authentic Korean flavour and menu. Would recommend.
Always great food with friendly staff, the environment is cozy and the food is delicious. The restaurant puts equal effort in to both it Asian & Western dishes. The seating is a bit uncomfortable and the decor is tacky; but who cares about that, the food and customer service speaks for its self.
Very good food ! Would like to try more dishes to give a full review
Soo good!
Food was good
Good food
Great food and service
Amazing food, friendly service, and a clean little restaurant front! Love this place, come to FSJ just for the food here.
Service is fast best sushi in fsj
The food was very good and enough for a moderate price.
Best pad tai in town, great food, not cheap but you won t leave disappointed. Wish they would renovate the place to be more comfortable but the food is great at least. Service can be slow at times so don t expect prompt service. Menu has too many items on it but I always stick with the Asian food and never had the western. Sushi is good as well but not much of a selection.
Amazing food!
Mixed of Korean/Japanese cruise with options of Western food in the menu. Food is above average, place is small and the location is off a bit but still in town. I normally do take out since I dont like the hard wooden seats there and not much of the atmosphere I enjoy while eating. The atmosphere rather feels plain, almost like sitting in a normal room with a few seats set up to sit down . Service is nice. Waitress is friendly.
very authentic korean food!
Good place to eat considering city doesn t have many options.
I love their kimchi ramen
Great food and friendly service.Atmosfere is like a cafeteria though. Wouldnt recommend if in for a romantic evening.
Good food friendly service
This place offers excellent quality sushi on top of traditional Korean dishes. Quality of service is above and beyond. I was served with lightning speed despite several other customers in restaurant. Selection of sushi options is very impressive! Im very happy with this restaurant and can definitely recommend it.
Great sushi selection along with Korean cuisine and Northern American dishes (burgers and such( for those who dont like authentic international cuisine
Bad bad
Amazing food everytime
Nice little sushi place. Also has Korean food.
Excellent food as always, for a great price, with speedy and efficient service
Friendly staff, best sushi in FSJ, best Ramen in FSJ. Quick and inexpensive
Good food but needs an update
Hungry Bear, I love you, with all my heart.
Ordered Vege tempura, vegetable spring rolls, kimbap, red hot chicken dinner set, beef yaki soba, salmon and chopped scallop nigiri sushi. Tempura was so flaky and the sauce was so delicious. Loved the spring rolls too. Nothing to complain about with the rest of the food except the sushi was a little bit disappointing. Glad I added more spiciness to the chicken will ask for even more spicy next time. Will definitely be back a few more times. Cant wait!
Great food, reasonably priced, big portions and friendly survice. One of my favourite places to eat.
Service is good but portions are small. Good food .
Wide selection of well prepared and satisfying food.
Great food
Delish Korean food!
Very good
Reasonable price with good fiod
Love the food and service here!!
Great food. And youre not hungry again an hour after your meal. Totally recommend.
Great food and great price
Great food, responsible price. Friendly staff.
Amazing Ramen
Delicious food, lots of choices!
The food here is always good. Ive had many dishes from soups to stir fry to sushi and never been disappointed. My only minor complaint is the size of the restaurant and the temperature of the sitting area could be better
Good food
